340 Vs 360

@Rat Bastid - Ehhhhh, when it comes up again.

No worries. In the future, I’ll ask for clarity or on something I have no clue about. It’ll not be a bate question.
(Like some others think I do on purpose.)

Going back to what you were saying earlier, I’ll give you this on one of your assumptions on me and that answer is still the same but clearer.

No, have not built a race engine the way you describe it.
Hung around race tracks and friends long enough to certainly know what a race engine is. I hesitate to say the words as they maybe taken, friends of mine have run rail cars and it’s always been a pleasure to be in the garage helping them work on it but! That’s their ball of wax and I’m just passing a wrench or torquing something down on the other side of their engine. Or some other chore etc….

My Grand Father in law and I have had some great conversations when he experimented with the nitro methane in the ‘50’s. His time at Chrysler working on the turbo 4cyl engine with Shelby & why he liked Fords better. He was locally know for his excellent ability to make the Chrysler HEMI work great.

I miss that man. Perhaps one day…..

So no I haven’t built your version of a race engine but then again, IMO, a Hyundai accent can be a race car and if the owner is so inclined to make the best of that engine with his magic wrench’s, well, I hate to say it but that’s a race car with a race engine.

Any one here that bracket races has built there engine specifications up for that purpose….. that’s a race engine.

If you’re going heads up and money is involved, the way you’re talking about how it gets screwed together and how it should rpm etc…. Sure, absolutely, race engine. Max house on fire screaming rpm is the way to go. No doubt.

Some guys are thinking bottom of the page part choices when in reality, what one needs for pushing the cross the finish line first game is not on any page for most 99% of the parts.
